A thin blue line is a vein in my wrist or a drawing on a page in pen and ink But the sky around the earth? No, I'd never think of a thin blue line A thin blue line is a river on a map or a Coltrane chord held high with a 7th flat but the sky around the earth? Imagine that, a thin blue line A thin blue line is the smoke from a cigarette or lips drawn cold and lifeless from lack of breath But the sky round the earth? I won't forget a thin blue line Lying in the cool green grass, the sky is an endless blue Sitting on Jupiter presents a different point of view Both up and down I see these blues collide inside of me One fucked-up frame of mind leaves seven generations on the line A thin blue line is the core of a flame burning oil fields in God's name But the sky round the earth does that explain A thin blue line A thin blue line, oh just sign the check A hole in the ozone? Well, what the heck but the sky around the earth I wouldn't place your bet on a thin blue line (the sky is a shield around our sphere; a fragile air cocoon...and if it were to disappear, the earth would be a moon) |
